We are currently recruiting an Associate Professor in Business Analytics with experience of teaching one or more of the major areas of business analytics (particularly prescriptive modelling with optimisation techniques or predictive modelling with machine learning models) to deliver on undergraduate and postgraduate modules across our range of provisions, on- campus, online and TNE.
